Welcome to MDS. I thank you for stating you position on SB281 and look forward to your efforts in the 2A fight. I personally was concerned that you did not explain what you stated were "the true causes of gun violence" in your Baltimore Sun letter but understand there are limits to what one can include in that forum and still hope to be printed. I am sorry that this led me to question your 2A position at the time. I'm glad you are here and have shed some light on the inner workings on G&S and the Maryland Gun Center. Thank you.

I don't think you can be any clearer: you are a 2nd Amendment (and constitutional) supporter!

Follow up by writing letters to the Sun. Give sound bite at a time. Reading this thread makes me think, when the going gets tough, MDS'ers will backbite.

Welcome Jack and thanks for your efforts!
I'd say a few that have chimed in on this thread might own Mr. McCauley an apology.

Not a sole owes any apology. Our citizens are fed up with gun grabbing politicians and butt kissing law enforcement leaders. It's hard to believe or expect anything different. And, if I'm being honest; my lack of knowledge for what was really happening to gun owners was perhaps leading me onto that familiar path. A member of The AGC and MSI both played huge roles in enlightening me. I always thought I was a 2A supporter but I learned some simple methods and philosophies were hindering myself and others.

Some folks here are of the opinion that one's views cannot evolve. I think they are a minority. Your actions also speak louder than any words.
Maybe not an apology, but would you accept a "Thank You" for both your service and objectivity?

Of course. But I've already had plenty of thanks. Let's just keep on the path. I've been reached. I've been educated. Who's next?

This morning a colleague stopped me in the hall at work to let me know about his efforts to present a cogent argument to allow - those of us that ISIS has publicly stated that they are targeting. I can vouch this man is imminently qualified to make these assessments and he (properly) presented the Licensing Division (LD) with some info from an intelligence report. The LD replied that they were in communication with the FBI and DHS and there was insufficient threat to justify a 'good and substantial' reason at this time (I'm paraphrasing).
His last words to me were to the effect of: do they really need to see video of someone like me getting their head cut off to come to their senses? I could only reply that he shouldn't blame the LD officers, but the politicians that carry on with this cheap political stunt that endangers lives, and the very top police officials that kiss ass and have no balls. These are not our exact words; kids might read this, so I toned it down.
My biggest immediate fear now, is that more and more of my fellow 'law-abiding' citizens are deciding to break the law for their own personal safety; as they recognize the corruption and undo influence of our ignorant politicians. I typically inform them of the risk they are taking, and severe penalty they may face if they were ever stopped or had to defend themselves; I in essence try to persuade them to not carry, even though they are immanently qualified and legal to do so in 40+ states. Most take my advice to heart, but a few, I don't know. Friends: Please don't break the law, no matter how stupid it may be; we can still make this right. And if you do other wise, please do not tell me or anyone. I treat everyone as if they are armed anyway, I don't need to know. New meaning to: Don't ask, don't tell.

This needs action and inquiries from your elected representatives. Never before, in the history of our country, has there been any more clear and viable threat. This is without question, unethical to deny any applicant who falls within the parameters of this threat.

I wonder what would happen if we asked Congress to intervene in the intrests of national security? Not kiding..
I wonder if Congress really wants to have widows and orphans of slain service men marching on the hill with pictures of decapitaed loved ones asking why??? Why did you leave them defenseless?
Might be worth finding out...
I wear two caps that speak to my time in the intelligence business.
Such a threat begs the question - does it include everyone who had/has such an affiliation?

Unless you ever worked for DoD, I don't think ISIS is targeting you; at least for now.
